EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Beane wasn't hired yet when the draft went down; Whaley was still here, though I'd imagine McD had a tremendous influence on the picks. Based upon Whaley's track record, there is no way someone could logically conclude Whaley would have traded down and picked him.
bobobonators Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Based upon Whaley's track record, there is no way someone could logically conclude Whaley would have traded down and picked him. I don't know, I just know it was not Beane who drafted him.
Magox Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Me thinks that the final decision was McD's.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I don't know, I just know it was not Beane who drafted him. Ahh, now I see... LMAO
grb Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 White has looked like a pretty solid pick so far, but as for Rookie of the Year hardware I always wonder if you can win it without gaudy statics like interceptions....
Kirby Jackson Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 White has looked like a pretty solid pick so far, but as for Rookie of the Year hardware I always wonder if you can win it without gaudy statics like interceptions....I don't think that you can but you can be important. He will be one of our most underappreciated players in the near future.
SaviorPeterman Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Based upon Whaley's track record, there is no way someone could logically conclude Whaley would have traded down and picked him. Whaley did make comments when he left about giving the new regime a gift with the extra 1st rounder from KC in next years draft. However I do believe that McDermot had the final say on the White pick because he's a DB that fits this scheme perfectly and obviously with Gilmore bolting to the Pats it once again became a priority need.
cj192 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Darby was amazing in his first year also...then regressed badly in year two...hopefully we don't have The same thing happen with White... I am with this. We have had two games to evaluate players on both offense and defense. Applaud for the work thus far. But let's all pump the brakes before we give any player a crown.
SaviorPeterman Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Darby looked good year 1 as well Exactly as have many other guys whose play seemed to get worse in Buffalo as their careers went on here. And in Darby's case the scheme or coaching didn't even change from year one to year two yet he still fell off a cliff.
Doc Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Darby is more the exception. His struggles are all on him.
Saxum Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 He looks very solid but rookie of the year talk after 2 games? The NFL hype machine is out of control So is the NFL diss machine.
Dablitzkrieg Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I wouldn't put any stock in PFF. It rates Tyrod as the 7th best QB in the league.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 I wouldn't put any stock in PFF. It rates Tyrod as the 7th best QB in the league.Yeah, those dudes put less effort into their analysis than anyone else. I'd rather hear what Jeremy White has to say.
Dablitzkrieg Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Yeah, those dudes put less effort into their analysis than anyone else. I'd rather hear what Jeremy White has to say. He sucks too
Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) He sucks tooReally?!? He seems like a guy that watches a lot of football and has a great grasp for the nuances of the game. His dad must have been a coach. Those guys at PFF don't even know what they are looking at. Edited September 22, 2017 by Kirby Jackson
Big C Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Really?!? He seems like a guy that watches a lot of football and has a great grasp for the nuances of the game. His dad must have been a coach. Those guys at PFF don't even know what they are looking at. In trying to get their analysis out as quickly as possible their staff is forced to assign grades based on the broadcast footage, which is ridiculous. They do go back and fix the grades based on all-22, but they certainly have some questionable results.

They do go back and fix the grades based on all-22, but they certainly have some questionable results. Of course, but they watch more football than anyone. Their system is a little flawed at times but of all of the analysis out there they are paying the closest attention. That's why it's ludicrous for anyone to dismiss their work because you don't agree with it.
